Comparative evaluation of solar, fission, fusion, and fossil energy resources, part 3 [PDF]
The role of nuclear fission reactors in becoming an important power source in the world is discussed. The supply of fissile nuclear fuel will be severely depleted by the year 2000. With breeder reactors the world supply of uranium could last thousands of
